The Effects OF Mental Exhaustion.

Many diseases, especially those of the ner-
vous system, are the products of daily re-
newed mental exhaustion. Business avoca-
tions often involve an amount Of mental wear
and tear very prejudicial to physical health,
and the professions, ifarduOusly pursued, are
no less destructive to brain and nerve tissue.
Il is one of the most important attributes Of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, that IL compen-
safes for this undue loss o Tissue, and that it
imparts new energy to the brain and nerves:
The rapidity with which itrenews weakened
mental energy and physical vitality Is re-
markable, and shows that its invigorating
properties are of the highest order Besides

Several physicians have pronounced my
disease blood poison, caused by paint or

Z Many parents, having children
to educate, underestimate the value
of regular attendance at school.
1t is unreasonable to expect a
scholar to keep up with his class
when he is allowed to be away
from the recitations three or four
days or more in a month. AS
general rule, sickness should be
the. only cause Of absence, but
many parents keep their children
at home every rainy day. The
healthiest and strongest children.
and the best learners, are those
who attend in all sorts of weather.
The many friends of Ensign
Hugh Rodman, in this city, were
rejoiced to learn that, after a care
full investigation Of the matter, he
was acquitted of all blame or neg
ligence as an officer in the hand
ling of the torpedoes which so un
fortunately exploded in Chinese
waters, thereby killing one man
and wounding another.
We expressed the hope and be-
lief, at the time the accident oc-
CURED, that an investigation would
acquit Hugh, as it has done.
On Tuesday, May 3Ist, Albert
G. Bacon Post, No. 50, G.. A. r.,

quested to contribute flowers, and

Dancing Parties,

dancing parties last week. The first and the
most elegant was the german given Tuesday

carefully solicitous for the welfare and hap

every way success. Messrs. Fred Goodwin.
Arthur Barnard and Harry V. ball acted us "a
committee of introduction, and Messrs. Harry
NJ. Lawrence G. S. Parmlee, Bert Robinson
and H. E. Wood had charge of the floor.
The masquerade ball given by Dudley P.
Chase post, G. A. R., on Tuesday evening last
at No. 2 Central avenue, was great success.
The members of Dudley Chase post and their
lady friends can always be depended upon
for good time, but when to ordinary socia-
bilfty is added the mystery of the mask, the
fun is great and everyone. maskers especially,
makes the most of it. Miss Belle Speed as
Topsy, and Mrs. S. Cloudy as Pocohontas,
were awarded prizes for the excellence of
their costumes. Many beautiful and comic
representations were among the maskers.

great many visitors were at Malcolm's acad-

of the clubs masquerade party. The usual
variety of maskers was present but the comic
costumes lar outnumbered the elegant ones,
and the result was 4 good deal of fun. At IL
o'clock masks were removed and many were
the surprises. There was something incon.
gruous in seeing short-skirted ballet dancer
wear mustache and side-whiSkers, but the
hirsute appendices were decidedly more in
accordance with the physique of the wearer
than the skirts A 9lightful evening was
spent by all present. Cards were provided
in the parlors for those who did not dance.
The floor managers. to whom much of the
success of the evening is DUE were Messrs.
